LNK2001 Error ?

This is a discussion on LNK2001 Error ? within the Windows Programming forums, part of the Platform Specific Boards category; I get the LNK2001 linking error when trying to build this code in MSVC++5
I have looked at the help ...

When you get an linker error, it normally specifies what function can't be found. Without you posting this I'm not sure where the problem is, but it's probably your project settings. Make sure your linking it as a Win32 application and not a Win32 console application.

Reminds me of something I read in the news a few years back.
A Japanese trawler had to pull into Russian harbour after serious damage nearly caused it to sink.

Appears that they were hit by a couple of cows. Try explaining that to customs.

Later it was revealed that some rustlers had used a cargo plane to load up a herd of cows. During the flight the cows got spooked. To save the plane the rustlers opened up the rear door and let the cows out over the ocean.

Haha nice story

Haha thanks, glad to someone appreciates besides me

Me and my friend made up stupid names like this for hotmail addresses and this was my one, his was something like destructivepanda, or something like that, we had loads written down somewhere, haha ill look for them sometme and post em if u wish.

As to the problem i posted above i still havent solved it yet and its plaguing me !!!

File->New->choose workspace Tab->give it a name, (I called it abc), and click OK.

File->New-> choose project Tab if it is not already chosen, and select "Win32 Application" - NOT Win32 Console App or any of the others->give it a name, (again I called it abc), and check the "Add to current workspace" radio button, then click OK. On the next screen select "An empty project" for the application type. If it gives you another screen saying that no files will be created just say OK.

File->New-> choose Files Tab, if it is not already chosen, and select "C/C++ Header File" -> give it the name generic.h and click OK.
